"The Quintet opens with one of those glorious Korngoldian melodies of the type that would later translate into music for the silver screen...The Sextet is given an equally vigorous and stylish reading with passages of great tenderness" (Gramophone)

"The Quintet opens with one of those glorious Korngoldian melodies of the type that would later translate into music for the silver screen...The Sextet is given an equally vigorous and stylish reading with passages of great tenderness...It aches to have lyrics attached - at least that is how the vocal quality of the playing emerges in this warmly recorded disc with its excellent booklet"
(Gramophone)

"The Doric String Quartet and friends evoke a sepia-toned bygone time in their delicate but enthusiastic interpretations. They are too intelligent to add extra emotion to pieces already bursting with it; instead they faithfully enter the spirit of old Vienna...the Piano Quintet's slow movement is a special highlight - rapt, tender and sincere."
(BBC Music)
